متن يادداشت
In the aftermath of 9/11 the United States intelligence community underwent a paradigm shift. Until this seminal event the Cold War paradigm guided the intelligence community. Due to the Cold War's state centrism and relatively slow tempo the paradigm emphasized the importance of secret sources and limited sharing. The author argues that 9/11 alerted policymakers and intelligence professionals that the operational environment had indeed changed with the end of the Cold War and increased globalization. Nonstate actors replaced states as the primary threat to the international system. A new paradigm which emphasized intelligence-sharing and gave greater weight to open source information replaced the outdated Cold War paradigm.In the first part of the introductory chapter the author presents an overview of key intelligence terms and methods. In the second part the author presents an historical overview of the development of the United Stated intelligence community. It was America's experience during World War II that laid the foundation for the Cold War IC and its guiding paradigm.Chapter 2 discusses changes in intelligence that occurred after 9/11. The chapter focuses on counterterrorism--a traditional area on interest for intelligence agencies. The author argues that in a globalized world intelligence and police agencies have found it necessary to share both domestically and transnationally. However, due to inherent problems in sharing, states have been reluctant at times to cooperate with other states.Chapter 3 discusses the increased role intelligence plays in epidemiology. Epidemiology is a non-traditional area of interest for intelligence. However, in light of 9/11 and the increased fear of biological attacks and globalization, policymakers have found that intelligence and health agencies have much to gain by cooperating with one another and availing themselves of each other's expertise and methodologies.Chapter 4 presents a survey of intelligence failures and reforms. The three general categories of reforms are structural, process and analytic. Despite the fact that some intelligence failures could have been avoided the reality is that intelligence operates in a world of uncertainty. Policymakers are cautioned that over-correcting can be as dangerous as under-correcting.
